Lovely cabin located amidst the beautiful nature of Northern Scotland, yet not far from the nearest village and local sights. It has everything you might need for your stay. A well-assorted collection of kitchen utensils and dishes makes cooking a breeze, and the cozy sitting/living room with an open fireplace will brighten even the rainiest days. Truly built with heart and hands.

We had a lovely stay at the log cabin, a real escape from life. Set in the woods it was great
10.0 / 10.0
The cabin was great quiet peaceful. it's just outside a little village that has everything you'll need and a short drive from the local towns. The statue on the hill you can see from the cabin is a deceptively steep walk but worth it
10.0 / 10.0
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cabin. The fireplace was a hit as was the location allowing for a lovely walk down Golspie Burn straight from the door as well as having the convenience of shops and cafes close by. Everything was clean and ready for us when we arrived. The kitchen had everything we could need and the beds were very comfortable.

Better than we imagined, We looked forward to returning to the Cabin each night as the peace and quiet was just what we needed. I noted the make and model of the mattresses as I have never slept so well and would love to do so again but maybe the whole cabin experience had something to do with it.

I think I should start by stating that I’ve visited the Log Cabin since I was 7/8 years old. I now take my nonagenarian parents back and have introduced my own boys, aged 14 and 15.5. A good age spread for a review! My parents love it and of course they’re war children; my kids are generation whatever and seemingly exist attached to their electronic devices. Except they don’t when we’re in Golspie - they’re too busy climbing Ben Braggie, or swimming in the sea, or eagle watching, dolphin watching, hiking, “playing” in Big Burn. We climb Ben Nevis or Ben Hope. We rick climb. We watch the sunset at the end of the world (John O’Groats). Kids eat local beef and fish straight out the sea. As my father taught me, I teach my boys to fly fish, play golf. They eat ice cream. And when it rains (it does that in Scotland) we light a fire and play Monopoly or Risk (we’re boys… sorry Mum). If you want a sauna and all-inclusive 5* accommodation don’t bother; if you want a holiday where you’ll feel alive and glad to be alive then come. It is what it is. Fabulous. Frankly I’d rather less people knew about this slice of heaven. I’m biased you say? Absolutely! I’ve been all over the world in 5 star hotels and this is unquestionably my favourite holiday. The best thing? It’s now my boys’ favourite too and that’s not indoctrination. Don’t bother trying to book the last 2 weeks August … I’m afraid I’ve reserved them until I’m pushing up daisies; I suspect you’ll have to contend with my boys then!

We just had the most amazing autumn break at the cabin.
It had everything we needed and was very welcoming, including beautiful woodland and waterfall walks right from the front door. 😁

We were so pleased to find this lovely cabin on VRBO. We've never stayed anywhere like it.
It is tucked away in pretty woodland with great views from big windows towards the sea and local mountain (Ben Bhraggie).
We walked and cycled for miles along beautiful local trails, visited gorgeous beaches and played golf on the wonderful course at Goslpie. My (grown up) son also spent a few good hours reliving his childhood on the tree swing in the cabin garden!
In the evenings we cosied up in front of the big open fire in the living room with books and played cards and chess for the first time in years.
The cabin is really warm, comfortable and cosy. On our arrival it was clean, well presented and a welcome basket of fresh bread/milk/eggs had been left for us on the dining table - a nice touch!
All in all a wonderful place for some proper rest and relaxation after days filled with fresh air and exercise... We will definitely be returning soon!

Avoid this cabin if you have any sort of allergy/sensitivity to damp/mould etc. We do. Partner couldn't sleep in double bedroom, could all smell damp especially in there. Daughter said was ok, slept in there - was ill by the time we left, miraculously better as soon as we were home.
Also if you have any allergy/sensitivity to being treated like an idiot. Apparently it is 'luxury accommodation' I should have gone for if I didn't enjoy stained bedding. Dog hair encrusted washing machines. Grubby cushions. Dirty cutlery and kitchenware. Broken heaters. No coal in bunker. Not enough mugs and what was there stained/chipped. Hoover full to bursting. Balcony messy when arrived, broken lighter and soggy dog poo bag.
I didn't mind most of the issues, if it was only a few things I wouldn't have minded, we were expecting basic and simple, but by the end it was getting ridiculous. Was trying our best to just enjoy our break. Was the dirty bedding at the end and being ill and damp smell that topped it off. Owner helpful and apologetic at first. Then didn't respond for weeks when he said he would after going to check out the property. Said had issues before with cleanliness as can't keep on top of it living so far away. We tried to be nice and helpful about it all at first but after being ignored, got annoyed, got hugely patronising response completely discounting our concerns and the many issues we had.
I don't appreciate spending almost £700 to stay in a place that is grubby and damp. Apparently I should be grateful for the experience.
Not as secluded as hoped, not overlooked, but to be clear there are neighbours just through the trees. Also, when you take out the rubbish the house across the road from you has very aggressive dogs barking at you behind a very flimsy fence. Bit intimidating for the children.
Be aware of many ticks also.
Only sofas enough for 4 people round fire.
I understand lots of people don't notice damp/smells the same. Unfortunately having lived and worked in damp buildings my partner and I, and our eldest are now very sensitive to these unhealthy environments. My partner especially can tell the moment he walks into a place - gets itchy eyes and throat.
Avoid. People happy to take your money but don't want to make amends when things go wrong. Don't think you should ever have to spend this long reporting problems that should not have been there in the first place, this for a supposed relaxing break. Disgusting attitude.

Although the property was clean I'm not convinced it was deep cleaned. We went to use the dining table chairs a few hours after we arrived and there was food/crumbs under the chair cushions. These chairs hadn't been cleaned at all. Windows look tired and had hand prints on them. On the whole a great base and location is fantastic, just needs a bit of TLC in my opinion but we did have a great stay.

Nice and easy check in, the property has a lovely homely feel to it and we love the familial aspect of it! We did a few of the recommended walks such as down to dunrobin castle and back and the burns fall with our 4&7 year old boys. The boys loved bird watching, chatting to the local farmer and feeding his chickens and pigs and exploring the beaches. Just note not a lot of restaurants etc local if you are looking to dine out regularly.

The Log Cabin, Golspie
The Log Cabin, Golspie
in a beautiful, peaceful woodland with fantastic scenery and outstanding views of the sea and hills. Despite the tranquility, it is amazingly close to Golspie and has brilliant walks straight from the door allowing you to be car free. The midges could be a real pest- so take big spray! The interior of the cabin is homely and relaxing and you feel as if you are truly in the middle of nowhere. The kids loved playing in and exploring the woodland. A fantastic, relaxing holiday was had by all. We did lots of amazing walks and were lucky with the weather. Thank you Log Cabin and hope to be back soon.

Microcosm of the perfection of Scotland.
Microcosm of the perfection of Scotland.
This well-loved, snug, cosy property is in an ideal location. It feels isolated and has a great view but within walking distance there is a magnificent burn and waterfall walk which takes you to Golspie which is on the coast! Dunrobin castle and the Loch Fleet nature reserve are also only a 5/10 minute drive so there is everything you could wish for immediately to hand. The cabin is lovely and warm (despite the windows looking slightly past their best), and whilst there is admittedly more to do in areas such as Speyside, it also means it is much busier (although still far less busy than where we live in Colchester). For a 'getaway from it all' holiday this was a perfect 2 week holiday for me and my husband. I feel sure we shall return, thank you ' El Cabino'.

We booked El Cabino because we wanted to get away from it all. There is a lovely view of the Firth through the trees and the Mannie statue on top of the hill and the cabin is surrounded by a lovely forest so that you feel like you truly are on your own. But Golspie is literally five minutes down the road and Durnoch Beach-which is a lovely beach, is half an hour away. It’s a lovely place if you want to explore the northern highlands and enjoy a long drive.
We thoroughly enjoyed the log fire and the kids had a great time playing at the Den and swing. There are a number of walks in close proximity too.
The cabin is comfortable and a tribute to the family that own it.
We especially appreciated the welcome basket.

We had a relaxing short break in this very peaceful setting. We took full advantage of the numerous walks in the immediate area. Our dog also loved exploring the surrounding woods! The cabin was clean and well equipped and enjoys super views of both the sea and the hills. Unfortunately it was cold and damp for much of our stay but we were able to make good use of the coal fire! We appreciated the welcome basket of food. All in all a breath of fresh air!

We had a lovely few days stay at the cabin. The location is perfect. Peaceful with great views, and the woods were a treat for our children who we lost in them most days! The cabin is very cozy even in February, and we really enjoyed just taking some time to ourselves and relaxing. There is quite a bit to do locally however, and we managed a good few walks and adventures, too. Happily recommend the cabin, and the location, to those looking for a real get away, fresh air and peace.

With all the necessities minutes away in Golspie we were amazed at how remote the cabin felt. Just what we wanted. The posted walks are great for families and we found more beautiful scenery heading West. The cabin is well equipped and felt like home from the moment we arrived with the open fire giving a very cosy air. Loved all the games that don't need batteries and we really enjoyed setting our own pace. The owners' preparations made us feel most welcome. We all had a memorable break and will visit again .
We have had a wonderful time staying in the lovely log cabin just outside of Golspie. Walks are in abundance on the cabin's doorstep, Scotland in summer is beautiful and rugged. We have been extremely lucky with the weather and only a few occasions of midges. The log cabin is very well made, with all the amenities you want, amazing views and wildlife on your doorstep! Highly recommended as a great holiday base.

Wonderful, peaceful break, will be back
Wonderful, peaceful break, will be back
This was our second time at the log cabin, and we already know we'll be back again.
As we've seen from the visitors' book everyone else seems to share our view of the peacefulness, homeliness, stunning setting, beautiful walks and great log fire.
This time we had our 16-month old with us and she was fascinated by everything in the garden/forest, the local sheep and the waterfalls on the Big Burn walk, (don't miss this walk).
Our highlights this time were: The falconry display and trophy museum at Dunrobin Castle, (is that really what aristocrats used to do!) Dornoch cathedral in the sunshine, seals basking on the sandbanks of Loch Fleet and the fact that there's no sound up there other than birds and sheep.
Thanks also for the kind welcome basket of food - a lovely treat. We feel 100% more relaxed going back home.

Huisje in het bos
Even wennen in het begin. Huisje was wat vochtig. Tuin is niet aangelegd, maar eigenlijk gewoon bos. Verwarming met electrische kachels, wat gelukkig wel hielp. Geen wifi, maar dat vond ik wel fijn. Daardoor meer tijd om met het gezin leuke dingen te doen. In de omgeving was een leuke wandeling te doen. En met de auto zijn verderop ook zeker mooie tochten te maken.
Het weer was goed, dus al met al wel een paar fijne dagen in het huisje gehad.

Eine wirklich schöne und saubere Hütte in den Bergen von Golspie/Umgebung mit Blick aufs Meer. Sehr ruhige und und gute Lage, einfach zu erreichen. Auto sollte man allerdings haben. Wandern soweit das Auge reicht. Der echte Kamin rundet die wirklich gut ausgestattete Hütte ab. Es fehlte uns an nichts. Modernes Interior gemixt mit traditionellem. Hat uns sehr gut gefallen.
